Can-do Cano

Cano’s signing brought some much-needed star power to the franchise, but the Mariners need a lot more than buzz from the five-time All Star. Cano averaged over 28 home runs and 102 RBI per season over the last five years, but he won’t have the same kind of protection in the lineup — or short porch in left field — in Seattle as he did in New York. Still, he must be the M’s primary run-producer for the team to succeed this season, while also helping to fill the leadership vacuum on the squad.
